The paper argues that the experience of sewerage development in OPP can be transferred to squatter communities in Kathmandu given that there is a serious commitment from both the local and national governments in terms of 1) support through the implementation of the project, 2) defining what the land tenure of the squatters would be, 3) providing safe drinking water to all households, 4) creating waste water treatment plants before river discharge and 5) properly planning squatter settlements.
